Apple Virtualization Framework
This is higher-level than the Hypervisor framework; this Virtualization framework providers an entire VM with virtio peripherals including a display.
https://github.com/lima-vm/lima can use Virtualization framework for creating VMs, there is also https://github.com/gyf304/vmcli as a very simple CLI utility for running VMs, though it's not very actively maintained.
-
Is there anything like WSL2 in Mac?
In that case, VMs are probably the best options. If performance is not the issue, you can look at UTM (https://docs.getutm.app/installation/macos/). Free from GitHub and $10 from App Store. Parallels is a good option as well. Or something simple as https://github.com/gyf304/vmcli from CLI.

Running Intel Binaries in Linux VMs with Rosetta
Virtualization.framework is the hypervisor itself, you only need simple tool to launch it. You probably could just copy-paste provided code into eg. https://github.com/gyf304/vmcli. However macOS 13 beta seems to be only available for registered developers.

M1 For Development 1 month later
Use https://github.com/gyf304/vmcli and install docker on Ubuntu ARM. But I am not sure, probably qemu emulation is not going to be here, so you will have to run only ARM images. And for this option you can also install k8s.

Alternative to Lunar/Vivid for XDR Brightness?
BetterTouchTool has a SuperBrightness action in the newest beta which works on the same principle as Vivid, while BetterDummy added an XDR slider that works on the same principle as Lunar.

Apple Intentionally Disabled HiDPI on M1 Macs to Push 4K Monitors Sales
I've had great results with BetterDummy[0] for my M1 make with a non-4K external monitor.
It's free and open source with an optional Pro version. I've been using it longer than the Pro version has been around, so I'm not familiar with what advantages it may have over the free version.

You might want to try BetterDummy to add a virtual display to the Mac if there is not a physical one already connected. Might solve the black screen issue.
